Chapter 16 The Flowers Fall and the Wish of the King
"The early winter of this year seems to have come a little early."
I sat in the courtyard, I don't know when, Wei Xiao had already walked behind me, since no one came to report, I didn't bother to make a look and get up to say hello, just glanced at him sideways, stretched out my hand to signal the stone bench next to him, "Sit." ”
"These days, are you still used to living? Xiyi is not as good as Dongfu, the weather is drier, and it is very cold, if the county lord has anything to need, he can tell the people around him. Wei Xiao didn't mind, and sat down.
"Fortunately, I'm used to fighting on horseback, and I'm not a squeamish person." I don't know the purpose of his coming, it's been five or six days since I stayed in the Yi Palace, and this is the third time he's here, and every time it's a simple greeting, which is a lot more restrained than the frivolity of the day I first saw him. "So, if you have anything to say, you can say it directly."
I heard him be silent for a while, and then continued, "I heard that on the day you were abducted by your uncle, you were with Prince Yuwen. ”
I didn't answer, a cold wind hit, and I subconsciously brushed my cold arms.
"He's not coming to pick you up." Wei Xiao seemed to be asking, as if conveying, and his tone was very light, and he struck another blow on my desperate thoughts.
"Maybe." It's been a long time, and if he wanted to pick me up, he would have come a long time ago, but since he hadn't arrived yet, he either delayed it or didn't want to come at all. But either way, it's enough to show that for him, I'm not as important as the thing that delays him.
"Actually, we're all the same." He sighed.
I couldn't bear to look sideways, I just felt that at least his sigh at this moment was true. In fact, we are all the same, trapped in the game, involuntarily, such a fate is not up to us to choose, we are all waiting to be chosen by fate or give up, I thought I had a chance, but I also lost to him.
"If there's a thicker blanket, can you give me one? I'm afraid of the cold. I whispered. The heart is cold, so people are even colder, and it is only early winter, and I have become cold in my hands and feet.
Sure enough, after he left, it didn't take long for the subordinates beside him to send a very thick mink blanket.
Fuyin, did you suffer such a grievance in the first place? Desperate, but ended up in such a situation? I wish you hadn't, I wish you were loved by him, so that the one that was designed from the beginning to approach me may be for you, not the trap designed for me to jump.
Those **** often have nightmares, there are billowing gunpowder smoke in their dreams, there are broken walls, and there are crying and howling, but without him, the dream is just cold, very cold.
Wei Xiao can also be regarded as a careful person, early, let people put a charcoal basin in my dormitory, and occasionally he will come over, just ask, is your body okay? Are you uncomfortable? Do you sleep well at night? Do you still need to buy clothes, etc., I occasionally ask him for a few things to pass the time, and he will give it to me, no more refined than Yuan Ying, Wei Xiao looks more like a down-to-earth and lively person.
"If there are any red plums that bloom well, can you get me two pots?" In a few days, I'm afraid it's going to snow, and the already monotonous life, coupled with the paleness, looks a little unexpectedly pitiful.
Sure enough, in the afternoon, his father-in-law next to him took four people to move two large pots of red plums, and now it seems that they are just small buds, and the father-in-law saw me looking in a daze, and hurriedly explained, "County Lord, these are the two best pots cultivated in the palace, which were originally in His Majesty's study, and His Majesty ordered them to be sent." Good life takes care of it, and it will definitely bloom in a while. ”
I nodded and watched them retreat.
was fiddling with the two pots of red plums, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone lift the curtain and walk in, thinking that Wei Xiao was coming, and said to himself, "These two pots of red plums, I still like them very much, thank you, I heard that they are from your study, but I am a little embarrassed." ”
The person who came stood behind me didn't speak, I straightened up and turned around, and saw Luo You standing there.
I didn't speak, but Luo You said with a smile, "It seems that you get along well with Emperor Xiyiwei." ”
"Why are you here this time?" I didn't look at him squarely, so I walked in front of him, sat down on the side, and took a sip of tea.
"County Lord, but blame me." Luo Yu pleaded guilty and bowed deeply.
"Blame? It also depends on whether you are worthy of my attention, you have not brought me any kind of betrayal, and I have never trusted you, so why blame. "I was suspicious of him from the beginning, and I didn't dare to believe it, but fortunately I was able to prevent it early.
"The prince asked me to tell you that Prince Yuwen has returned to Beishao and sat in the East Palace." He did it on purpose, and when he said this, he always stared at the change in my expression, wanting to see what kind of reaction I had, I saw that he had a weird smile, and he actually said slowly, "I heard that Prince Yuwen has arranged for him to make a marriage contract with Prime Minister Gao's daughter, and he will marry the eldest lady of the Gao family one day." ”
Heart, at that moment, was exposed.
I couldn't hear the sounds around me, I just felt a buzz in my head.
When he has a certain yen alone in the world, he will marry Ah Jiu as his wife, and this sentence is repeated in his mind, finally, finally, I am still tempted.
He didn't come to pick me up, he made a marriage contract with Prime Minister Gao's daughter.
Fuyin, you and I have lost to his throne, and his world is over.
"Get out." There was a kind of heat swirling in my eyes, and I trapped it in the drooping eyelids, gritted my teeth, and said fiercely, sometimes, it is so hard to disguise.
Luo You seemed to get the answer he wanted, and withdrew from my hall with a smile.
I was paralyzed, and I swept the tea set off the table, and shards slashed across my wrists, and blood splattered on the red plum trees beside me. A little scarlet, like a red plum in the morning.
The tears finally fell, I couldn't bear it, I couldn't bear it.
The man who promised me to marry me if I had the whole world alone is finally going to marry someone else.
My fingers caressed the scarlet on the red plum tree, trying to wipe it off, but the more I rubbed it, the more I rubbed it, as if my vision was blurred at the moment, I thought I could hold it myself, but I heard a bang and lost consciousness.
I had a long, long dream that I was with my dad and he took me out of the orphanage, and I was not obedient at all, and every time the teacher complained to him, he would get angry and punish me for standing by the wall.
Daddy said that nothing is predestined, all Yiqiē can be changed on their own, and if I care about my past, I am destined to lose to the future. Dad said, don't trust others too much, everyone is a liar except yourself.
I want to hear my dad call me a flyer.
I want my dad to hug me.
"Xiao Fei'er, why are you pouting again, who is messing with you again?" At that time, Daddy said, took me into his arms and made me sit on his lap.
"They said I had no one to want. They scolded me. ”
"Who said you don't want it, Daddy loves you so much, they are jealous of you. You're always such a temperant, and you fight with people at every turn," Daddy said, wiping my little dirty face like a cat. "You remember, don't care what others say, Daddy wants you, and when they talk about you, you sue them, you have a dad who loves you and spoils you, and a dad who is willing to do anything for you, do you hear?"
That dream was so long that I didn't want to wake up. In my dream, I also knew that as long as I woke up, I would never see my father again.
"It's time to go back." Dad asked me, his eyes full of reluctance.
Don't go back, I don't want to, I don't want to leave him. Except for my father, probably no one really cares about me like this, just cares about me as a person.
"As long as you don't forget your dad, he'll always be there when you need it."
Don't, don't separate
"Don't go, don't go," I muttered, struggling to wake up from my sleep.
"The county lord? "There was a figure swaying in front of him.
My head was groggy, I struggled to see clearly, the person in front of me turned out to be Wei Xiao, my neck felt very heavy, I reached out and took off the Jinpa on my forehead, my throat was dry and hoarse, I wanted to speak, my upper lip touched my lower lip, I only felt that the mouth was probably a chapped mouth, and it hurt badly.
A cup reached to my lips and led me to take two sips of water, and I nodded to signal him to be okay.
"Why are you here?" I asked him.
"I heard that you passed out in the house after my uncle's people came, and I thought they were intent on harming you, so I came to take a look." As he spoke, his hand reached into my forehead, "Is it still cold?" Why did I have a fever? ”
Shaking his head, he didn't bother to explain so much. "You go back quickly, let people see it, and maybe you have to say something."
"What should come, will come."
"The Lord Regent has come to see the county lord." There was a report from outside the door, and I sighed and looked at Wei Xiao, what a crow's mouth, how could he say it so accurately.
"I heard that the county lord was infected with wind and cold, I wonder if it is because I Xiyi is not taking good care of it?" Wei Chongzuo walked into the room ignorantly, and when he saw Wei Xiao, he suddenly realized, "I see, I was still saying that I Xiyi didn't take good care of it, but I didn't expect it to be taken care of by my Xiyi's majesty Xià himself." ”
"It's so late, why did my uncle enter the palace." Wei Xiao got up and greeted him.
"Just now I was discussing with the Queen Mother about the appointment of a side concubine for you, and I delayed some time to leave the palace, and I heard a report from the next person, saying that the lord of Zhaohua County was infected with a cold and high fever and did not go away, so I came to take a look, since Your Majesty is here, the minister is also relieved." Wei Chong's smile lingered between the two of us, and if he wanted to or not, he arched his hand and said, "Then the king will go back and not disturb the two of you." ”
Seeing him coming and going in a hurry, Wei Xiao frowned and scolded in a low voice, "Old fox, dare to make this calculation." If I marry you, not to mention whether Dongfu agrees or not, Nancheng and Beishao will definitely crush me. ”
I thought I was amused, "I'm afraid you wooed me for this reason in the first place." ”
In fact, he is a little too worried, although I don't know what the situation of Nancheng and Dongfu is, just say Yuan Ying, no, it's Yu Wenzheng, he won't change his original plan for me, they overestimate the value of my deposit. It's just that I can't say it explicitly, but this seemingly sad "value" is the only life talisman I have now.
If they knew the reason why Yu Wenzheng gave up "Fuyin", probably I really wouldn't be able to live.
"I used to think that you were a little emperor who didn't understand anything." I said bluntly.
Wei Xiao was stunned for a moment, he raised his hand and pulled his cuffs, and smiled angrily, "I also thought that you were a willful little county lord." ”
I thought it was funny.
"I heard that you fainted after you met your uncle's people." Wei Xiao changed the topic, and suddenly a sentence pierced my heart, he seemed to notice the subtle strangeness after I tried my best to forbear, paused for a while, he took the brocade in my hand, folded it and put it on my forehead, "A man who lives in this position, even if he likes someone, he has to think about the royal power first." ”
"If you give up a woman and change the world, even if you win, how can you be considered a man?" I couldn't breathe a sigh of relief in my heart, and blurted it out.
He was just stunned, and then said, "Your statement is really worthy of the title of the hero among the princesses of Zhaohua County." But for men, they are young and frivolous, so why worry about the beauty of the world. ”
Sitting in the world, why worry about beauty? Sure enough, men's thoughts should probably be like this.
"I heard that your queen is your uncle's own daughter." I sighed, for this queen, among the various folk sayings, although it is not a beautiful beauty, it can be regarded as a beautiful lady, but it is only a little funny, that is, she is jealous, and her little temperament is extremely rude. "In this way, men, lovers and fathers in troubled times are unreliable."
He snorted and laughed, his slightly stiff figure trembling slightly, "If this word spreads, I am afraid that the world will think that the county lord of Zhaohua prefers women." ”
I laughed too. In troubled times, people in the world are more willing to gossip about the private affairs of the court, and such a sentence may be interpreted to mean much, thinking about it, it is also quite helpless.
"Since Yu Wenzheng can't come to save you, who might you think of who will help you?" He was right.
I looked at him and was a little embarrassed, who would help me? Who will come to my rescue? I'm used to wandering the rivers and lakes alone, I never thought that one day I would be trapped within the walls of the palace, how could I leave such a hand in case of trouble, although I live through this skin, but I don't know the slightest about Dongfu's situation at this time, will they have such a big move for a dead person.
The brothers on the cottage can't let them wade into this troubled water, firstly, it is for them, and secondly, it is difficult to explain why the county lord of Zhaohua has been involved with the bandits in the past two years.
"I heard that the emperor of Nancheng is now also the overlord of the world, and it is no longer the embarrassing situation two years ago, but in the past two years, there have often been Nancheng people looking for traces of the county lord of Zhaohua in my Xiyi. Maybe you can turn to him for help. When he saw that I didn't have any ideas, he said.
The emperor of Nancheng Kingdom announced that I don't have a good impression of him. I heard that when the Zhaohua County commander who was in the east earlier was defeated by Beishao, he asked the Nancheng monarch who had a marriage contract with her for help, but was rejected miserably, I tried to think about it many times, and it was probably a cold-blooded animal with a careful mind and no feelings.
"Then, I'll go back first, if you think of anything, you can ask the next person for something they can't do." Wei Xiao got up, "By the way, your hand is not lightly injured, the imperial doctor instructed not to get wet, those two red plums stained with your blood Although they are not charming, if you don't want it, I will let people carry it out." ”
"Keep it." I said, looking at the red plum through the veil, "It's always good to look more." ”
He nodded, also understanding the meaning of the words, "Take care, live well yourself, more important than anything else." ”
